Completely renovated summer house with unique seaweed roof on Læsø

On a fantastic plot of four hectares of land lies the lovely cottage 'Knøv'. Here there is high to the sky and lots of nature, quiet and birds whistling. The old farm was built in 1782 and has the characteristic seaweed roof for which Læsø is known. The cottage has been completely renovated in the last few years, but despite this, the cosy and authentic details have been preserved.

The former stable and barn have been converted into a lovely place. Here you will still find a feed trough, water post and in most places high ceilings. Inside, there is a lovely calm due to the thick roofs. Here you can enjoy the warmth and the crackling of the wood stove in the cold of winter or the lovely summer days in nature close to the water. In the former stable there are two rooms sleeping six people, and in the main house beds have been made for four overnight guests.

The whole house was built from timber and wreckage from shipwrecks, when all the forest on the island was used for salting in the late 1600s. The islanders used stranded vessels to build the houses. 'Knøv', as the house is called, was built over several generations. They built additional sheds as the family grew or if they became more prosperous. The last house at Knøv was built in 1918 as a stable and is thatched. The cottage is divided into two apartments, which can be rented together or separately.

Outside, the scenery is stunning and the many acres of land are full of adventure. And if you feel like making a fire, just do it. The beach is just 900 metres from the cottage, and if you're looking for groceries, a harbour environment and places to eat, head to Østerby, just 2.5 kilometres from the cottage. The bus is free, but you have to walk about a kilometre to the junction in Gl. Østerby to get on.
